Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $5/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Not long ago I adopted three feral cats. A mother and her two kittens. I am retired and I like to travel, so I had Lakeshore Pet sitters care for my cats with overnight and some daytime visits during the 2 weeks I was gone. I was so worried to leave them, as they came to me with many illnesses and had only recently received a clean bill of health. However, Bethany did an exceptional job. She was very reliable, knowledgeable, experienced and highly respectful of my home. Bethany put me at ease by texting me daily pictures and messages about how my cats were doing. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend this service provider.
Bethany did such a wonderful job watching after my cat. This was my first time trusting someone to take care of him, so I was quite nervous. Bethany did such an amazing job of addressing my concerns and making sure that my cat had the very best care. Thank you so much!
I cannot sing the praises enough for what this organization does and has done for me and our furry kiddos. Bethany is amazing: talk about a cat whisperer!! She is such a hit with our furchildren (our 5-pack), and each time she visits with them she goes above and beyond. I know that when we are gone, everything will be just fine, which is a massive relief for any pet parent but also when you have a home with a security system and don’t have to worry about anything. Mail? Check. Blinds / curtains drawn or opened and lights turned on/off? Check. Litter tended to? You got it. But then the time and commitment to getting to know the kitties, to playing with and snuggling with them, based on their temperaments and needs. You typically can’t pay for that level of care or service, but with this company and with Bethany, you better believe it. We were gone for our longest (by far) holiday away and had zero concerns that all was well, even while we were on the other side of the globe. This peace of mind is priceless for me, and I’m eternally grateful. Also: she shows up with treats! And my cats know that when Bethany arrives, great (and tasty) things are in store for them. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
The team is professional, kind, and attentive to the individual needs of our kitties. I trust them fully and know our beloved pets are in great hands when in their care! I highly recommend them.
We are so lucky to have found Lakeshore Pet Sitters. They are so kind to our pets and communicate well with me. They truly go above and beyond. I can not recommend them enough!
This boarding facility is one of the best! The owner sees to it that your dog feels like it is living at home. I think that the rates are more than fair and the owner really works with you to make sure that drop off and pickup are convenient! Will continue to use. 👍 …
My dog loves Calli and Patty! He has so much fun there and always comes back so happy (which isn't the case with another dog boarding place we had sent him). They work with my schedule for pickups and drop-offs. They've always gone above and beyond for us.
Camp canine has been a wonderful experience for my dog and me. Callie is great, so flexible with my work schedule, kind to my dog and very responsive. Initially there was a waitlist and I hadn’t heard back, but things have been smooth sailing since. I am so happy we started my puppy here, she has been going now for 8 months or so and has become more social with other dogs and people. I love it.
Kali watched my Ozzy over the Christmas weekend and during the storm. She promptly responded to our requests for info on how my boy was doing. She even took him home with her. He was happy and content when I picked him up! I will definitely use her again when I visit Grand Haven next time!
My dog has come to Camp Canine many times, and I always know she is safe and receiving lots of love. Zoe loves it! Calli is always professional and has all the dogs’ best interest in mind. Highly recommend.
Callie and Patty are the best. I highly recommend them. Outstanding care for your babies and cute rooms for them.
Callie and Camp Canine is the best!! Our dogs are excited to go see her and are always so happy! We have trusted her for years! 💓 …
Incredible professionalism. Cali is the biggest animal lover I have ever met. She ensures impeccable safety to the animals in her care. You'll never find better.
I cant get any response from them. I have been trying to contact them now for weeks. I have called multiple times which is always sent to voicemail and I have emailed them multiple times with no response. I'm not sure if they are just not accepting new customers or what but I have not been able to get ahold of anyone at this company. Either way I'm marking this company off my list of doggie daycare options.
Calli loves dogs and does a great job. She's taken care of my dog when I'm nearby, and I couldn't ask for better service.
We have trusted Tundra Kennels for over 15 years. They always take great care of our dogs. Prices are fair and the kennels are kept clean.
Fantastic owners who take amazing care of my dogs. Have used them for YEARS and absolutely love them
Our Wonderful new addition to our family.... Everyone at Tundra was wonderful and so knowledgeable we loved the whole experience and made new friends out of it as well.
We have trusted Tun-Dra Kennels for a very long time. They do such a great job with our dog's grooming and there's no other place we would bring our dog for kennel services!
We bought our first husky at Tundra in 1981, we are now on #6. Lynda has groomed our dogs over the years and is terrific! We have driven our dogs 120 miles one way to board at Tundra. The set up is perfect with the large outside runs! I truly cant say enough good things about Tundra! 💕 …
I dropped my dog off here just this morning. They are very well organized, professional, CHRISTIAN people who have owned and operated the kennel for many years. The facility is large, and very smartly configured for the comfort and optimal care of the dogs who stay with them. I drove away from there and left my dog behind, very comfortable and at ease with where I left him, and the absolute and total living care that I know he will receive while he is there. There are no longer any future kennel options for us. Tun-Dra Kennels will be the only place I will use. On a scale of 1-10, I recommend Tun-Dra Kennels with 1010! Did I mention that I am super impressed with Tun-Dra Kennels? God Bless!
Great place to house your precious pets. The indoor area for the dogs are warm while the outdoor run allows them to play. I really like how the dogs are never physically able to touch each other however the way the outdoor runs are set up, they can still play around. This way aggressive, or anxious dogs can attack one another creating a safe place for any animal.
We were in a bit of a pickle and had no place for our dogs to stay for 2 weeks till we closed in our house. Tun-dra took excellent care of my fur babies. Will definitely be using them again in the future!
I was very leary about leaving my Sammy at a kennel but I had no choice I needed to take him somewhere overnight. I called Tun-Dra; Shea there invited me to come out and check out the facility so I did. I was very impressed how they cared for the resident dogs I also met Lynn, Shea's mom who does the grooming she was actually grooming an elderly dog while I was there. Lynn was very gentle with her and was doing an excellent job grooming so I asked if she would groom Sammy during his stay and she did an amazing job on him. In short I would definitely recommend Tun-Dra for your fur baby for boarding and grooming. Thank you Ladies for taking wonderful care of my Sammy during his stay. Fyi Lynn is now Sammys new groomer!!!
My dogs love it at Tun-Dra! Very personalized service and they show great care for the fur-babies.
